The keto diet works well when you’re well under 25 grams of carbohydrates. That’s extremely difficult, especially because you have eliminated vegetables and fruits from the diet as well. This means, apart from the carbohydrates, your body is eliminated of the fibers as well. Fibers are extremely essential for the proper bodily functions. Still, the keto diet doesn't need to lead to fiber deficiency: avocados, flaxseed, almonds, pecans and chia seeds can all provide fiber while still keeping you in ketosis — when consumed in the right amounts.
